What you can expect

  • Step into an intimate Asakusa evening where old Tokyo, traditional Japanese dinner, and the powerful sound of live Tsugaru shamisen come together. After a guided walk around Senso-ji Temple, enjoy dinner at a local restaurant while award-winning musicians perform one of Japan’s most dynamic traditional instruments right in front of you.
    Tsugaru shamisen is known for its bold, resonant sound and dramatic playing style. Performed by highly skilled musicians, it is not quiet background music, but a living tradition full of power, speed, emotion, and improvisational spirit.
    During the evening, you will enjoy Japanese food, a welcome drink, live music, and the chance to interact with the performers after the show. It is a rare opportunity to experience traditional Japanese culture not as a distant performance, but as something warm, personal, and alive.
    This tour is ideal for travellers who want more than sightseeing: those who wish to understand Japan through its history, local atmosphere, food, music, and human connection.
